Tag: PeopleSoft Upgrades & Updates

Running PeopleSoft on-premise is challenging. Customers are bogged down with support and maintenance and are falling behind on patches and upgrades. Reduce support work by moving to the Cloud and put your effort where it really matters, in modernizing PeopleSoft, de-customizing, automating, and preparing for the next generation SaaS solution for your business. We will discuss how to develop your business case, how to plan a successful migration, how to execute with speed and accuracy, and how to effectively manage and support PeopleSoft on OCI using various automation tools.

Speaker: Arvind Rajan, co-founder and CEO, Astute

PeopleSoft release 9.2 introduced a major change in the way that the system is kept up to date and extended with new functionality. The promise was greatly reduced effort and much more timely updates. Many organizations have not seen the benefits they expected. Mostly, this is driven from a view that PUM updates are mini upgrades, and the Selective Adoption message and process is not coming through. This webinar will focus on the full process of Selective Adoption (of which PUM updates are only a part) and provide strategies that will allow the update process to become more efficient through scheduling, planning, use of automated testing, and development strategies to minimize the impact of customizations. We will include thoughts around governance also. This should provide a strong structure to put in place that will drive down the effort involved in applying updates and will increase your internal users satisfaction with the system.

Speakers: William Cage (Bill), Saad Mohammed, and Vishal Kothari, ERPA

Don't let your business' on-premises data center limit your PeopleSoft investment. OCI was designed specifically to support enterprise workloads like PeopleSoft in the cloud. This session will dive into OCI and how it will enhance and enrich PeopleSoft.

The Regional Medical Center (RMC) in South Carolina had big plans for PeopleSoft going into 2020. With MIPRO Consulting’s assistance, those plans included updating PeopleTools as well as doing PUM updates and adding new features for both their Financial and Human Capital Management systems. Shortly after the projects kicked off, COVID arrived and could have brought everything to halt. Instead, RMC pivoted, adapted its plans to accommodate remote employees, consultants, and project managers. The end result was a successful, on-time update that included the use of many new features and a system that was current and positioned well for the future.
